Over the last few weeks, YClwbPelDroed and MW_Footy have been conducting a vote for the Spar Mid Wales League Division One ‘Team of the Season’ and the end results could spark up some debate as there’s only one Rhayader Town player..
Goalkeeper
Joe Prosser – Rhayader
Rhayader’s number 1 has been a key feature in their title winning campaign. Prosser has kept 11 clean sheets in 28 games for the Red Kites. He also featured in the team of the team of the year for 2016.
Goalkeeper Poll
Defence
Left Back
Dylan James-Bow Street
Bow Street have a set piece specialist in Dylan James, he’s solid and experienced fullback. Knows how to play his roll to a high quality and has a role through out the team helping the younger players develop. James has been missing for the previous 8 weeks due to a broken leg but is motivated to get back ready for next season.
Left Back Poll
Right Back
Tom James-Hay St Mary’s
The quick over lapping full back for Hay St Mary’s has troubled oppositions defence this season. At the age of 22 he still has a lot to learn, but isn’t scared of a tackle and is outstanding in the air.
Centre Back
Shaun Nichols-Llandrinod Wells
The captain of the ‘Blue Army’ has only missed 30 minuites of football this season due to a red card and the games he was suspended for. Nichols has consistantly performed for Llandrindod this season seeing him be a rock at the back. He has also been a threat in the area from set pieces seeing him score 5 goals so far this season.
